EESSMT: An Energy Efficient Hybrid Scheme for Securing Mobile Ad hoc Networks Using IoT

Mobile ad hoc networks are attaining popularity to its highest currently, as the users need wireless connectivity regardless of their geographical location. Threats of security attacks are growing on the Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs). MANETs must require a secure mode for communication and transmission which is rather challenging and vigorous issue. With the aim of providing secure transmission and communication, researcher worked explicitly on the security concerns in MANETs. Several secure protocols and security methods within the networks were projected but utmost of the security measures in their designs are not ruminated. Hence, a novel scheme is proposed in this paper for the secure and reliable data transmission in MANETs under black hole attack constructed on amended Ad hoc On-demand Multipath Distance Vector (AOMDV) protocol of our base scheme. This paper comprises AOMDV protocol for the multiple route discoveries along with K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) for nearest neighbor node selection and use False key-build Advanced Encryption Standard (FAES) encryption scheme for cryptography method. FAES algorithm is used with the aim of securing the IoT devices and data from the hardware and network attacks. Also, the interaction of the scheme with the IoT based concepts making our work even smarter to the users. The proposed scheme performance is stable with higher throughput while that of base scheme. The quality of the proposed scheme is measured in terms of energy consumption, EE-delay and throughput. The results of simulation show that the Variance, EE-delay, energy consumption and throughput of proposed FAES-AOMDV protocol is lower than the original AOMDV protocol. FAES-AOMDV protocol ensures the secure transmission of data with least energy consumption in the presence of malicious nodes.
